@theo 11/10 bait, made me reply.

It's quite sad that you don't even understand what a pedophile is, so I'll let you know; it's someone who is attracted to prepubescent children.

Clearly it isn't good to have that sort of attraction, but as long as the pedophile has decency and don't act on such attraction, nothing bad has happened.

Of course people seem to be (intentionally) too stupid to understand the difference between child abusers and pedophiles, even though it turns out that most people who abuse children aren't in fact, pedophiles.

Child abuse need to be stopped, but going after people for wrongthink isn't going to stop it - it even seems that how people and governments relentlessly go after pedophiles makes the problem worse, as they are prevented for asking for help, as most people they ask for help are going to act disgusted and file a police report instead of helping them.


rms has made some autistic comments unrelated to software around the topic of postpubescent children being able to consent, but after discussions with his trusted friends, he has understood that children cannot consent and noted that he has changed his mind.

rms has stated that his preference is adult females (sometimes even 1D ones), which means he's not a pedophile by definition.


The best way to advocate free software is to spread freedom to freedom enjoyers from the rock which software freedom stands, no matter how many lies and proprietary tricks go around.
